If you are looking for a charter that can easily do offshore or inshore trips, then Double Trouble Sportfishing will be the perfect match for you. Captains Chris Gergely and Brett Ellis offer something for everyone and will make sure you have a great time on the water.

You will spend the day aboard a Topaz 32 Express Sportfish. She is renowned for her offshore capabilities in rough water, so even if the waves are rough you’ll feel safe and sound on board.

Her 35’ length will give you and 5 fishing friends plenty of space to fish without knocking elbows. There is enough storage for your food, drink, and personal belongings.

Powered by twin Yanmar diesel engines, she also boasts a generator on board to power all your creature comforts while on the water. Safety is paramount to Capt. Chris, so his vessel is equipped with the most up-to-date Raymarine navigation, radar, fishfinder, and Sirius satellite weather and radio.

For those rare moments of rest between catches, there is ample seating to relax. You will stay dry on the drive out with a fully enclosed helm deck with a hardtop. You will be in comfort the whole ride, a heated cabin, and an enclosed stand-up head with a freshwater sink. What more could you ask for?

Double Trouble Sportfishing pride itself on having one of the cleanest and fastest charter boats in the Mystic Connecticut Fleet. They have quality custom rods and reels by Penn, Alutecnos, Avet, and Shimano so when you are reeling in the big boys your gear won’t let you down!

Depending on whether you are fishing inshore or offshore, you will target a range of species, such as Giant Bluefin Tuna, Yellowfin Tuna, Mahi Mahi, Striped Bass, Flounder, Tautog (Blackfish), and many more.

You will need to bring along food and drink, but everything else is provided for, including gear, bait, fishing license, and filleting of your catch.

Join Capt. Chris and Brett on the water soon for your own fishing adventure!

Full Day Inshore

Great day on the water with Capt Brett and 1st Mate Ethan!!

VERIFIED

My adult kids and I had a great day on the water (full day inshore trip) with Brett and Ethan (7/17/25). They work well together and keep a professional yet relaxed vibe. Got into some striper right out of the gates- 2 keepers! Made a run out to Montauk point- striper were tight-lipped out there but the dogfish kept us busy. Wind picked up a bit so we went back toward Fisher's Island. The bottom fishing there was a little slower but, hey, still way better than being at work! The count as I remember: Striper-2 Bluefish-1 dogfish-3 Fluke- 2 Sea Robin-1

Booked a full day Giant tuna charter. Had a great time. We hooked up and a fish on the line for an hour and pulled the hook. Got to see lots of whales and dolphins. Had several other runoffs. Great time and I plan to book again.
